I used to work on a cruise ship that went through the Gulf of Aden many times. We always got paid extra, had to do piracy drills, and IDF forces came onboard and set up machine gun nests on our outer decks. Always a bizarre time.

Did the guns ever have to be used (even in a bluffing manner)?
Fun fact, a significant portion of the time, having such weapons is illegal wherever they’re going, so after leaving the pirate area and arriving in port, they just… throw the weapons overboard.

All we did was completely annihilate the local environment and industries they depended on to survive, why would they do this!?
